Just a brief on the outcome to our problem below

Thank you Kevin and John....Fantastic help!

We disabled TapeAlert (CDI) for all 4 tape devices in the ESL 
jukebox within Legato Networker. 
(devices -> right click device -> properties -> Configuration -> set CDI to 
"Not used" ) 
We then re-ran the cloning test, and it worked fine, filling up 3 tapes to full 
(or near full) 
capacity, and mounting empty tapes until the clone completed normally. 
Thus disabling CDI appears to have fixed our problem. 
We are wondering how having this feature disabled will effect our alerts??   
thanks for your help 
Regards 
Ruth & Deb



Hello all 
We are having an unpredictable problem with manual cloning. We are cloning from 
tape-to-tape 
and disk-to-tape, both having similar problems. 
When the first clone tape is marked full the cloning session does NOT request 
another clone tape even though 
there are tapes available. 
The errors in the daemon.log file are 
example 1 :- 
12/16/03 10:09:43 nsrd: cloning session:1 of 326 save set(s) reading from

This error appears to happen with data from all clients but is more frequent 
with Netware data. 
If anyone has any ideas on this we would be very grateful :)) 
If required this is our Networker server config 
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server 
Legato v 7.1 
Netware/Microsoft/Unix clients 
ESL9322 Library with 4x 160/320 SDLT drives 
Thanks 
Regards 
Deb & Ruth
